We next describe an ontological difference between the generic group assumption and the random oracle model for hash functions. We then examine some criticisms t...

Combined analyses of the nuclear SSU rRNA gene and the plastid RUBISCO LSU (rbcL) gene for 157 Bangiales taxa have been conducted. Fifteen genera o...
